BAR HARBoR, May 26.
The coup de grace is now being given to
the buildings which have been under con
struetion here during the past few months.
A larger number have been erected In Bar
Harbor since the close Of last season than
any previous year. About forty cottages
have been built besides the numerous addi-
tions which have been MADE to old ones.
Quite number Of large blocks have been
put up by different parties including the
"Roger" on Main street. This is the finest
on the island and Is to be furnished the COM
ing summer by Fred johnson Of Bangor into
first class restaurant. The new addition
to the West End Hotel will prove most
profitable Improvement 10 its prOprietors, as
II will afford one-fourth again as much room
as before making 1t nearly equal In size to
the Rodick. The work on the new Baptist
church which stands on Ledge Lawn Ave
nue. Is rapidly progressing, while near the
shore by the Maine Central wharf Is being
completed the most elegant club house on
the continent. This house Is owned BY
company Of about seyenty-fye members and
is finished in the grandest style. .rhe rooms
are numerous, large and will be nicely fur
nished, and the balconies command magni-
tcent view of the inner harbOr. Among the

and said the grounds were in good enough
condition. The league directors will settle
it.
